So when I turned 18 I wasn't all "Alright I'm legal, I'm going to waste my pay packet at the pub getting hammered and doing stupid things." Alcohol wasn't that big a deal to me. Mind you if I was out and saw a girl I liked a little bit of "dutch courage" never hurt![]()
Sorry we are getting a little bit of topic here
My dad was the same with my sister and I. His thing was he would rather us drink at home instead of sneaking off somewhere.He works at a hospital and has seen many a drunk teen come into casualiy.Hence his stance on alcohol. Im not much of a drinker anyway to begin with. Much rather spend my $ on other things.
